Movie Review : CUT! (2014)

Two men set out to make a movie. Their goal is to make a slasher movie that takes “realistic” to a whole new level. The friends cast a homeless man as their killer, not knowing that he takes killing very seriously. ‘Cut!’ was written by David Banks and David Rountree, both who played roles in the film. Rountree directed the film and played the role Travis. Banks played the role of the psychotic parolee, Lane. Seasoned actor Sam Scarber (Shocker) fills the role of homeless man/killer for hire. Travis is not being completely honest with Lane. After being tormented by the murders he’s committed in the name of film, he finds out that Travis and the homeless man are actually partners and that they have faked everything. ‘Cut!’ is a little slow off the starting line but soon picks up speed to reveal a complex story and a story line unique to the slasher genre that will leave you questioning

‘Night Of The Living Dead : Rebirth’ Is Coming To Get You…

Writer/director Roger Conners’ has been quietly making a reboot of George A. Romero’s ‘Night of the Living Dead. In fact, the movie is already half through filming and he plans to wrap up in May. Conners is aiming to make the modern version of the 1968 zombie movie. Conners is making some big changes to the original Romero script, including changing the sex of some characters and even the sexual orientation of others, for instance in ‘Rebirth’ Barbra is a man. This indie zombie movie stars Aswan Harris, Rachel Anderson, Alvin Hudson, Bradley Arner, RJ Messenger and Taylor Nelms. I have a feeling this movie won’t be received well by a lot of the fans of Romero’s Night of the Living Dead, but who knows, it may bring a new group of horror fans into the zombie genre.
